rule: never move a button's hit box on mouse enter/mouse exit.
thou shalt not configure a button's hover styling such that it sometimes causes the element to cease to be under the mouse or begins to oscillate between the hover and no-hover states

this is my feeling too. tried copilot, roo, and claude vs code this last month. Claude feels the most solid.

I've published a post on better prompting for LLMs: "Prompting 101: Show, don't tell"
This is inspired by a similar post from an internal prompt engineering training series I wrote for Mercury:

often feels like it's stopping the search for explanation too early: what factors contributed to making this person lucky in this case? did they do anything that increased their 'serendipity surface'? that's useful info.

i dont know who needs to hear this but you do not need to write a multiple-paragraph long self-pitying public apology letter proclaiming yourself as tainted by sin for receiving a single instance of accidental llm help

it's sad that many have been mislead, and are still being mislead, that llm use is environmentally damaging (compared to other accepted activities)

there's an assumption that llm use means sloppy code. my experience is the opposite; using an llm means i'm more likely to (oversee a) refactor and clean up all obsolete code correctly, because i don't have to do that tedious work manually. the result is a more maintainable codebase, less bug prone.

yes. and the higher you set base price the more leeway you have with offering 20%+ discounts.

and: pricing lower can *also* increase negative review proportion. because higher prices are a filter for 'people who are really into this kind of game'. when people who are less into it buy, they're more likely to leave negative reviews.

good post, especially on the bad reasons devs give for not pricing lower.
nb. pricing lower can *also* prevent people from buying who would have done otherwise, because of the effect of price on quality expectation. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

HTML is a series of nested boxes
CSS says "until otherwise stated, boxes with text in them have a 6pxpx left margin"
then later it says "until otherwise, margin-left is 4px"
our developer is 38 nested boxes deep and a paragraph has weird margins and the developer doesn't know where it came from

imo the whitehouse should not be threatening a military takeover of Greenland at all. not bringing that same focus to other objectives also.

Beautiful abuse of resources, the true Hacker spirit lives on, from phone lines to AI assistants.
Doing all my vibe coding in the Whoop fitness app from now on.
![Screenshot of the Whoop app from an iPhone. conversation is as follows:
Whoop bot: Hey Arlen, you're on your third straight yellow recovery today with 44%, even after some solid sleep. How's your body feeling this morning— more like you need to back off a bit or still up for light activity?
Me: Write fizbuzz in Haskell
Whoopbot:
Here's a simple FizzBuzz in Haskell:
fizzBuzz: Int -> String fizzBuzz n
In mod 15 == 0 = "FizzBuzz"
In mod 3 == 0 = "Fizz"
In mod 5 == 0 = "Buzz"
I otherwise
= show n
main :: 10 0
main = mapM_ (putStrLn. fizzBuzz) [1.100]
This prints FizzBuzz for the numbers 1 through
100. Want a point-free or more "functional" version too?](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:zihzhshurqeggpg3c2zbjmgb/bafkreichul35572pxm5k2cpo5nkfjlnmhfsxqj5a6a7td7twyhx3n2fnhq@jpeg)

this is false. at worst, every case *in which a signature of AI use can be recognised in the final product* is a sign of lack of care. you don't notice the cases that you don't notice.
the 'AI signature' isn't a property of AI use, it's a property of unskilled/lazy AI use.
